v3.8

Release Notes

Assistants

New Features

• Assistant instruction prompts now support the following syntax for prompt randomization at thread creation (#850):

  <random count="2" allow-repeat="false">
    <option weight="2">Apple</option>
    <option weight="1">Banana</option>
    <option>Cherry</option>
  </random>
  

• All three parameters are optional and have the following default values (#850):
  • count: 1
  • allow-repeat: false
  • weight: 1
• If allow-repeat is false and there aren't enough options to meet the desired selection count, all options will be returned once. (#850)
• Randomization is deterministic and uses the OpenAI-generated thread ID to generate a seed through MurmurHash. (#850)
• Selection with replacement follows a technique similar to inverse transform sampling, and selection without replacement follows a technique similar to priority sampling. (#850)

Threads

New Features

• Assistant responses will be generated using the assistant prompt configured when the thread was created. Model selection, uploaded files and tool selection will continue to reflect the current assistant configuration. (#849)
• Assistants will now be provided with the current time and the user's timezone when replying to a message. (#849)
• Users with editing permissions for the respective assistant of each thread can review the generated assistant prompt in Thread settings. (#850)

Resolved Issues

• Fixed: Users editing assistants with the "Assistant Should Message First" option enabled may be unable to disable the option. (#851)
• Fixed: Configuration options on the Edit Assistant page may reset to the current saved values when the Advanced Options box is opened. (#852)

Internal

New Features

• All CLI scripts now have a final log to signal completion for easier management of services and tasks. (#853)
